Written by Jamie Napoli and Joshua Paul Johnson, the script was a huge favorite of Pipeline execs, who called it “Coen Bros-esque” and “one of our best winners all-time, in any genre.”

Years later, Script Pipeline execs helped Jamie and Josh develop the horror screenplay Paradise. After circulation by Pipeline in 2023, they ended up landing with the management team at Bellevue.

“Script Pipeline has done more for our careers than anyone else in the industry,” said Josh and Jamie.

“They’ve been incredible partners for the long haul—championing, not just our winning screenplay, but our subsequent projects as well. They’ve dramatically improved our work with their notes and guidance and connected us with our dream management team. Having them in our corner has been a true game-changer.”
